This is all in an effort to make the workplace an environment that supports parents so that they do not feel they have to choose between career and family. Labor leaders, CEOs, small business owners, policy experts, moms, dads, and advocates are going to discuss ways to promote work place flexibility.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Work balance issues have been a top priority for FLOTUS who herself was once \u00a0a working mom.\u00a0A few years ago she was working full-time as a vice-president and faced\u00a0some of the same challenges that many working mothers\u00a0deal with everyday. The challenges and concerns of parents are being given a voice in the highest office in the land. Hopefully this will\u00a0make life better for working parents and their children.
